Some new icons for the norse faction

Time for a fresh update from our Medieval mod. The Vikings have been renamed to Norse as that seems a more accurate representation to the faction we have in mind to create. Welcome to Hvanndalir... Hvanndalir is the name of a beautifully located town on an Island in the North Sea. Isolated as it is, the Norse inhabitants that colonized the island face a challenge to stay alive and build a thriving town. Let us take a look at this island that some of you already might have seen. (with the difference that it is winter now). A blacksmith has been built (by Stanislas69) and you can see that the smith is doing some fine labour (yes, it is animated): When we turn around we'll see the local Norsemen carry their newly created weaponry (also created by Stanislas69): Some of the accompanying portraits: Now let's walk to the harbor, this building has been rebuilt from the ground (by Stanislas69) and the wharf is now able to build larger ships then before: Soon, the island will grow to small for this growing town and they will need to explore and colonize new areas. Do you know whom they might discover? (Buildings are created by Stanislas69) That's it for this update. Keep in touch for more news!

Nice tutorial Lion It should work with the GIMP as well though the GUI is different not all of us can afford a Photoshop licence. Enjoy the Choice

High time to bring some fresh updates to you! Let's kick right of! Our 3D modelers have been busy these days Stanislas69 has made a brand new Fortress that replaces the Athen one: Radagast. has finished his Storehouse and it was updated to the new texture by Stanislas69: Stanislas69 has created a blacksmith and yes, that wheel is animated! The wallset has been reworked by Stanislas69 and this is the result (here is the gate posted): We have worked (and are still working) with educated Chinese Historians to check our mod for historical accuracy and I would like to thank someone in particular: Mei Houwang. He has provided us with lots of usable info. Most of the results of this collaboration are still Work-In-Progress and will land in due time. That is enough for this Update. Keep in touch for more news!

Excellent work.

Spearmen do have a bonus against elephants so they should be deployed at the front. The skirmishers should be positioned behind them. Cavalry are not effective in elephant warfare, yet swordsmen could be useful as reserves if the spearman line breaks.

Multicore support would be awesome when it comes out, since most people have at least two cores; and if it runs this nicely on one (and a little extra ), it'll be awesome when it it utilizes more cores!

Excellent work. The assets look very good. The only thing I would advise is that the shields be enlarged. As of now they do not seem sufficiently large to make a firm shield wall. Otherwise I would say that the team has done a great job.

I like the other one better. Also, those icons are for mods, And if you look at the civs, not all of them have the same icons.

Thanks A lot lion. To adapt this in gimp : In the actor viewer click on the ground icon, that will fill the background with black this is particulary useful when having white units ie : this You don't have the inner and outer glow. So I suggest you use the gaussian blur. Use the magic wand to select the black and do as Lion told you create a new layer with the colored wolf while the bottom layer has a white wolf. Then select the bottom layer gaussian blur 20 and you 'll have a white overlay. (Repeat it till it's thick enough) You can now colour it to look like the yellow in this picture. And done

Thanks! SIgh I thought that was the problem... I don't want to sound like the christmas grinch but I wish people were more Ubuntu sensitive XD In any case thanks for the help

If you're running Alpha 16 you'll find games in the lobby. In Alpha 15 it is most likely that the lobby is empty. These are the steps you need to follow to get the latest version (as the one the the Ubuntu Software Center is older): http://play0ad.com/download/linux/#a0A.D.providedpackages

Save your configuration and restart the game. It is a generic bug that happens with everyone.

It's been reported but it is still unresolved it may be driver related or something else entirely if you can dig up more info it may help in tracking it down. Enjoy the Choice
